Erin Smith
Astoria, NY, United States
Erin Smith was diagnosed with celiac disease in the early 1980s, so she’s been eating gluten-free almost her entire life. Erin has a unique perspective of growing up in the gluten-free community and blogs about living — and enjoying — a gluten-free lifestyle.
Erin Smith has been writing her gluten-free lifestyle blog Gluten-Free Fun since 2007. In 2011, she launched Gluten-Free Globetrotter, a website that encourages those with celiac disease to travel the world and not be scared about eating gluten-free domestically and abroad. Erin is also the lead organizer of the NYC Celiac Disease Meetup group, a social community that has grown to over 1850 members in the 8 years she has been organizing the group.

This is a scientific program designed for those interested in the development of non-dietary therapies for celiac disease including physicians, scientists, industry (pharmaceutical, diagnostic, biotechnology and food & agriculture) and investor/venture capitalists. The organizing committee consists of Joseph Murray, Ciaran Kelly, Stefano Guandalini and Peter Green.

We invite suggestions for presentations in both poster and oral presentation form for the session concerning pre-clinical studies in the development of therapies for celiac disease. The organizers will choose whether presentations will be included. Email a brief abstract of your proposal to pg11@columbia.edu.
